Full description

Upon arrival in Pisa, your informative guide will take you on a thorough guided walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments, where you will admire the wonderful architecture of the unique buildings surrounding you, called “Miracles” in the past because of their incredible beauty. Be will be dazzled by this marvelous square which is dominated by the wonderful Cathedral (*) where you will visit the indoor part, a model of the distinctive Pisan Romanesque architecture. See the celebrated Leaning Tower, the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its suggestive columned arcades and its “Camposanto”, originally a cemetery, an extraordinary quadrangular cloister delimiting with its marble façade the Square to the North.

Good trip overall. Only problem really was that the coach was over 15 minutes late for the trip and the tour operators were quite blasé about it and gave a half-hearted apology. Once in Pisa, we had an interesting walking tour of the Square of Miracles and inside the cathedral which I actually expected to last longer than it did but nonetheless it was interesting and I enjoyed it. There was then free time for exploring or climbing the tower is you wanted. In terms of value for money, I wouldn’t have paid more for this particular tour.

When you find the Meeting Place, don’t expect to see any signage identifying the tour companies name. Right around the specified meeting time, a tour bus and their staff wearing a blue shirt will appear under the large tree at the bottom of the brick ramp to the trains above. Once checked in, we boarded the bus to Pisa. This tour is well organized and there is even time for your to grab a bite and shop after the local guide is finished with the tour. Pisa is a little town with a very large tourist attraction. Lots of vendors surrounded the historical site. Was a great experience.

A well worth trip to do! The scenery on the drive is absolutely beautiful and the leaning tower is an incredible sight to see. The tour guide was really thoughtful and gave good local knowledge about Florence which was really beneficial to everyone on the bus.
